By working with our available materials and often just a cell phone camera, we can create stellar photos that will position our art and enhance the elements we most want collectors to see. Capturing images with just your camera phone allows you to create amazing promotional images of your artwork, jewelry, ceramics, or other creations. The most dramatic changes in small business promotion have come since the cell phone became a sophisticated camera. But it still takes some knowledge to get good photos. While you have all of this horsepower in your hands and at your fingertips, it still comes down to three basic things: Lighting, Exposure, and Composition. We’ll set up three different demos to cover most of the basics of lighting and image capture basics you will need.
Today the camera on your phone takes images well beyond anything we could have dreamed of just a little over two decades ago. So now that you have all of this horsepower in your hands and at your fingertips, how do you use it? It still comes down to three basic things: 1) Lighting 2) Exposure 3) Composition Focus should be on this list, except that the cameras today, with their incredible sensors and Artificial Intelligence enhancements, do a lot for us. So, the real magic is in controlling what we should control, and letting the cameras do the rest.
